As a pirate, you hold your own best in 1 on 1 scenarios. As a bonus action, you may choose 1 enemy within 30 ft as a duel opponent. While dueling:

• Each round of combat, the first attack you land against your duel opponent deals extra damage.
• You gain advantage on all Dexterity ability checks and Saving Throws while within 30 ft of your Duel target.
• When your duel opponent provokes opportunity attacks from you it does not cost your reaction for that turn.

You must be wearing Light Armor or no Armor and be using a one handed finesse weapon, unarmed strike or ranged weapon to receive these bonuses.

When you declare a duel opponent, you must finish dueling with your declared opponent before choosing a new opponent.

Dueling ends if you or your opponent are reduced to 0 hit points, are restrained or one of you surrenders. Attacks of opportunity do not end the duel. You may only have one duel opponent at a time.

The extra damage you deal changes as you gain pirate levels as shown in the Dueling Die column of the pirate table.

Dueling Die:

• 1st-3rd --- 1d4
• 4th-6th --- 2d4
• 7th-9th --- 3d4
• 10th-12th --- 4d4
• 13th-15th --- 5d4
• 16th-18th --- 6d4
• 19th-20th --- 7d4

At 1st level, your experience aboard the deck of a ship at sea has taught you to travel with ease over slick terrain. Your time spent among the rigging of a ship has taught you to find hand and footholds more easily, as well. You may ignore difficult terrain that involves water, such as shallow water, swamp, mud, slick rock, etc. You also gain a swim and climb speed equal to your move speed.
